Moby-Dick / Moby Dick. Moby-Dick in half the time. Herman Melville. - Compact ed. - London : Phoenix, 2007. - 312 p. ; 20 cm.

The classic story of Moby Dick, the whale pursued relentlessly by the crazed Captain Ahab. MOBY DICK is the tale of one man's fatal obsession and his willingness to sacrifice his life and that of his crew to achieve his goal. The story follows the fortunes of Captain Ahab and the eccentric crew of the whaling ship, The Pequod. The ship is on its last voyage in pursuit of Moby Dick - the great white whale which wounded Ahab in the past and is now his quarry. The battle with the elements, the sea, the dangerous confrontations of the whale hunts are embodied in the thrilling narration of the only survivor, Ishmael.
